Have you changed your situation? Still living in fukkery? And there's never a shortage of married chicks at any job, is there?

Oh that was a LONG time ago.... so I've changed IMMENSELY!!!!!

My advice, since your a young man, stay AWAY from those fine ass older flirtatious women. I didn't even realize how much more I could've had, until I looked back on the situations speaking to friends I made back in those days. Just get to your money, and more importantly your work experience up.

Luckily for me, I didn't have any consequences.

Another thing, do not measure yourself to others. Your 20's will most likely be about growth and learning. This may not apply to you, but I notice this in a lot of delusional youngstas (don't expect to be balling in your 20's). The girls around your age will say slick shyte about lack of money, are more than likely are dealing with nikkas my age with money on the low and are projecting. Don't mind them because there souls will be depleted by the age of 27.


SAVE SAVE SAVE your money. Shoot for a years pay and put it in an interest bearing account seperate from your primary bank.

Also, find you a down to earth spouse by the time you are around 35. Thats gonna be very hard to do in this day n age, because of the lack of maturity in women these days, but keep on hunting.

And if things go bad, just chalk it up to life experience.

And please do NOT get any chicks preggo or have to have abortions. That shyt is psychologically scarring you you as well.

These are all some good ones. Most of the women who talk that shyt about how dudes ain't ballin' are just ran through hoes, laying up under a dude; looking for somebody to save them. Reminds me of half of the women I graduation high school with.

I wish I would have focused more on saving my money than spending it. Thanks to taking the time to learn how to invest, Ive recouped it, but I would have been a lot farther earlier if I had been more frugal.

Finding a good spouse is difficult, but Im glad I was able to lock down my girl. She was a one in a million, and most women these days have nothing to bring to the table.

Congrats on achieving your Masters. It's interesting you say that was the last time you had no real adult obligations. 24 was the last time you were a kid, lol.

:lolbron: :manny: But it was. No shame in admitting it. Prior to that all I really had to do was get good grades (loans and scholarships mostly paid for my schooling) and get some hands-on experience for the future.

Three days after I walked across that stage the second time, I started my first legit full-time job, started paying bills and then my mom started asking me for money here and there.

That last one was when I knew whether I lived or died or ate every day was on me. The light came on, if you will.

We still here, though. Most important thing I've learned is that life comes at people at different speeds and paces, and the sooner you don't compare yourself to people at your age and just focus on making the best of your situation, you're good.

At 24, I was struggling with college. I had to transfer schools because the school I was going to was putting me deeper into a hole than I already was. Basically I had to start all over from scratch.

Had a near cancer scare at 24. Went to the doctor everything worked it's self out. Got lucky.

24 was a transitional age for me, I lost my apt, lost my girlfriend, lost my job, almost got kicked out of college but i studied in jail for my midterms/finals. I offically broke when I came home and I saw that she moved all her shyt out the studio apartment and left the drawing that we got done on 42nd st on the wall as the only reminder. I lost my mind coming home to a empty apartment after I came from jail. I broke down on my knees and cried like a baby because of what I put her through, the worse feeling in my life to come home to a place I called home with a girl I loved and saw that she left me, foreal.

Wasted so much zoe money daily on designer clothes, cars, partying and general rockstar livity and probably don't remember 90% of the hoes or anything really for that matter

Generally wasted all of my 20s (a blurr) carelessly intoxicated the whole time with a death wish and reached level 9000 of fun :stylin:

Lucky I am an born extraordinary genius and liar - I managed to fit in a masters degree at top university in between it all and avoided a police records

Now that I've had to finally grow up and face reality in a early 30s that I could actually live long enough to be old I am office boy living pay check to pay check plotting my next move or cheat code to unlock new levels of this videogame called life :thumbsup: (with a damaged liver and depressing inability to find fun in "normal" things most people enjoy after having seen level 9000 of fun)

The joy of lifes is your own unique experience, don't compare to an others but if I could talk to 24 year old me I'd say "Save! :damn:"

24 was pretty shytty for me but he a huge turn around.

I started talking to my now current gf again after I kicked her out for tryna spend a night and telling me she was a virgin and keeping her virginity til marriage :picard:

Got them draws tho second time around :myman:

Got arrested twice on DWIs. Just wilding. Had a drinking problem obviously. Spent 10 k on a lawyer. Struggled financially.

Went back to college to finish my last year after takin a 3 year break (somehow getting arrested sobered me up to real life).


Found what I wanted to do after college.

Just finished my bachelors for good recently actually at 25, getting ready to move across the country with my chick.
